I have written about the perilous reach of #JohnKelly since Jan 2017.
He has repeatedly been given a pass despite being a virulent racist and misogynist who also authored #ZeroTolerance and the Muslim and trans bans.

But before #JohnKelly hated brown people, he thought hating black people made a lot of sense. Never forget that he lied about a black war widow and a sitting black congresswoman and refused to apologize when he was called out for it.

The #FakeNewsMedia, especially #FakeNewsCNN, have been reporting according to their sources #JohnKelly would be fired by President Trump more times than we can count only to learn he is staying throughout 2020. Now we see why they are labeled #FakeNews

Everything #FakeNewsCNN reports must be questioned. They don't get their facts straight and when called out will make a tepid correction. They have not reported fair and balanced news in a very long time. #VoteRed2018

Hey--remember when CoS #JohnKelly (the villain in every story involving Trump's inner circle) maintained #RobPorter's security clearance even though he knew Porter was responsible for #domesticviolence against both his former wives?

In case you forgot that story because John Kelly has done so many other terrible things since, Kelly ignored #RobPorter's abuse of his wives and prioritized protecting Porter over his victims theintercept.com/2018/02/07/rob… …

#JohnKelly is OBVIOUSLY the architect of today's threat to rescind the security clearances of Brennan, Hayden, Rice and Clapper. (Comey and McCabe already had theirs revoked.) These are not things Trump discerns on his own. He needs direction. Kelly--who hasn't resigned--gave it.

trump would LIKE you to believe that his concentration camps on the border are policy that existed under Obama and Clinton.

GET INFORMED. TRUMP'S EXCUSES ARE DISGUSTING LIES.

Myth-busting thread ahead:

The catastrophe unfolding at the border is ENTIRELY on TRUMP's shoulders. He has demonized the poor, the uneducated, the desperate, the foreign, the brown, the black. To the point that his supporters are able to defend crimes of humanity against them and say THEY DESERVE IT.

If you can defend this calamity, you have truly lost your ability to reason and your soul. And are that much closer to being like the "good Germans" who looked the other way while their government committed atrocities against "other" people.

The Wife's fam are immigrants.
So tonight we were talking about #JohnKelly.

I am imagining #MothersDay with the fam all together & The Wife's mother, whose parents were a carpenter & a lacemaker who didn't speak English. The Wife's mother is a painter & retired art professor.

#JohnKelly's xenophobia & racism are over-the-top, even for someone in the Trump administration. How can someone who lost a child be so cavalier about children being separated from their mothers? How can he claim immigrants can't assimilate? How do Trump's people talk like this?

#HeyJohnKelly
My father's mother was from Sweden, never went to school past 5th grade. Her husband, my grandfather, never went past 8th. She took in washing, he was a photographer. They were both functionally illiterate.

The @GOP and any remaining tRumpsters out there better start paying attention to the FACTS and the WARNINGS, & opinions from HIGHLY respected, life long PUBLIC SERVANTS who truly care ONLY about protecting OUR COUNTRY. They DGAF about politics...

...well, until politicians start preventing them from performing their DUTIES. These CAREER PROFESSIONALS do not politics affect their work. They follow the facts, they verify tips on illegal activity (#SteeleDossier) or clarify FALSE accusations (illegally wire tapped).

Investigations are SUPPOSED to have a NATURAL conclusion. That means tips, leads, facts, ENTIRE investigation has exhausted all relative leads & come to a VERIFIABLE conclusion. The same way we expect ALL law enforcement to do when we're accused of crimes, or crimes against us

"We know that Rob Porter’s Interim Security Clearance expired on January 15, 2018. We also know that as the WH Secretary he was handling the..

most sensitive classified information that our intelligence community collects. John Kelly knew that Porter was not only a serial domestic abuser but also lacked the proper Security Clearance to be handling the information that he was seeing.

"Kelly and the rest of the White ...

House ignored #FBI’s concerns & possibly committed a crime by giving an unauthorized person access to classified intelligence for weeks."
"The General who was brought into the corrupt and chaotic Trump White House to restore order is just another player in the #TrumpCrimeWave."
